    The Weber Smokey Joe Grill Is An Excellent Table Top Charcoal Grill

    October 30th, 2016

    Product review of weber smokey joe grill.

    As summer wears on and millions of Americans fire up the grill over and over again, the debate rages between charcoal and propane. Old fashioned folks will tell you nothing beats charcoal for the smoky flavor and great taste it adds to anything it cooks. Others will say the efficiency and ease of use that come with a propane grill can’t be topped. The Weber Smokey Joe Gold Charcoal Grill puts the debate to rest though, crowning charcoal as the true champion. Nothing beats a charcoal grill for tailgating or camping grilling needs and the Weber Smokey Joe Grill is the best around. The grill features a wide 14 1/2 inch cooking grate.

    With this cooking surface it can handle three steaks at a time or six burgers, perfect for any tailgating situation. The lid and bowl are triple sealed to prevent the elements from rusting them, and to deliver even heat during cooking. Best of all, the lid features locks on each side to enable easy transport of the grill from car to campsite and back again. The lid locks, when not in use, even double as wind shields to help improve performance in poor conditions. While a handful of consumers have found the ventilation on the Weber Smokey Joe Gold subpar compared to older models, the vast majority love how easy it is to transport the grill from place to place and find its long life to be a major plus.

    This Weber Grill Light Helps Illuminate Your Grilling Surface At Night

    August 19th, 2016

    Small product picture of a grill light review.

    Many consider the great American past time to be baseball, but others might argue that grilling is the greatest of America’s past time activities. Grilling is a centerpiece of many of our national holidays, like Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day, so it’s only natural that it holds a place in our hearts. As such, many of us love to grill whenever we get the chance, even after the sun has gone down. Sometimes this task can be difficult on poorly lit patios and decks, but not anymore thanks to the Weber Grill Out Handle Light. This grill light from Weber is designed for use on round and circular model grill handles only.

    It has 3 LED lights provide up to 10,000 hours of grill lighting for your grilling surface. The lights are powered by three AAA batteries that can do the job for upwards of 20 hours. Best of all, the Weber grill light can be turned on and off manually or via an automatic tilt sensor. Weber may have the only handle-mounted grill light available on the market. Other grill lights are meant to be mounted on walls near the grill or are freestanding and need to be placed within a certain radius of the grill. The vast majority of online reviewers loved the Weber BBQ light, but reviewers both positive and negative found one major flaw in the design. The barbeque light’s auto switch function does not engage on all grill models, allowing power to trickle through to the light even when the lid is closed, draining batteries in the process. If you own a Weber and love to grill, this bbq grill light is a must. Just remember to keep an eye on the auto switch and maybe use the manual on/off switch instead.

    However, customers prefer the Oregon Scientific Brand, as you get more cooking options and a stainless steel probe while costing nearly half the price. Despite all the features for the cost, the BBQ thermometer does have mixed reviews.
